On my search.aspx I'm using a Grid View to display search results:

ASP.NET

    <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Width="735px">

        <Columns>
            <asp:BoundField DataField="title" HeaderText="title" SortExpression="title"></asp:BoundField>
            <asp:BoundField DataField="fcontents" HeaderText="fcontents" SortExpression="fcontents"></asp:BoundField>
        </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>
    <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:minusConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT [title], [fcontents] FROM [tpost] WHERE ([fcontents] LIKE '%' + @fcontents + '%')">
        <SelectParameters>
            <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="TextBox1" Name="fcontents" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />
        </SelectParameters>
    </asp:SqlDataSource>
    <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />
    <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</div>

and it works fine and the search results are displayed in the search.aspx page(I use grid view wizard for search results)
And in Master Page i use this code;

HTML

<div style="margin-removed 5px; float: left">
    <form name="searchform" method="get" class="searchform">
        <input type="hidden" name="do" value="search" />
        <input type="hidden" name="subaction" value="search" />
        <input name="story" id="story" type="text" />
        <button type="submit">search</button>
    </form>

Now, I want when a user search in the Master Page, the search results are opened on the new search.aspx page.how can I do this work?thanks

Perfect, go ahead and have fun coding.

Since you didn't ask any question, it is difficult to give you a better answer.

Solution 1

i) Put the search criteria if short into query string or else add them to session variable.
ii) Now redirect to the particular page i.e. search.aspx here.
iii) Now on load of the search page get the search criteria values from query string or the session variable and do the search operation to populate the grid in the same page with the search results.

Hope his will be of help.

Solution 2

i) Put the search criteria if short into query string or else add them to session variable.
ii) Now redirect to the particular page i.e. search.aspx here.

Ex :-

C#

Response.Redirect("~/SearchResult.aspx?name=smruti");

iii) Now on load of the search page get the search criteria values from query string or the session variable and do the search operation to populate the grid in the same page with the search results.

Ex :-

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string name = string.Empty;
            if(Request.QueryString["name"] != null)
            {
                name = Request.QueryString["name"].ToString();
            }

            // Do the search operation by using the value for name what we got from query            string.
            // then bind the grid with the result data you got from database
        }

Hope his will be of help.

popupWindow = window.open(url, 'popUpWindow');

</script>
</head>

<body>
<div style="margin-removed 5px; float: left">
<form name="searchform" method="get" class="searchform">
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="search" />
<input type="hidden" name="subaction" value="search" />
